I have lost the installation CD for my HP Officejet J4580 All-in-one. Is there anywhere I can download the software for the solution centre / control panel? (that gives you control over the machine and lets you scan documents not only pictures)

Hello,
If you are not getting scan options, make sure you have installed the scanning software along with your drivers.
Check in Control Panel / Scanners and Cameras and try to scan from there.
Thanks,
Pat

Try reinstalling the printer software driver. It is probably found on a CD that came with the unit or you can download the entire package from the HP support website.

First do not plug the Printer USB cable

Start Installation and then when Setup asks to connect the USB cable Plugin to your system.
Make sure the Printer is connected and Powered ON during the initial setup.
